Why I believe God created Adam sin-ful:
There is only one God.
The Biblical definition of sin is literally, "to miss the mark."
What is the "mark?"
The glory [and perfection] of God.
Since God cannot reduplicate Himself in Himself, Adam's creation fell short of the glory of God. This is the reason why Adam disobeyed God in the command to not eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The eating of the fruit did not change the nature of Adam, he did not undergo any metamorphosis change to his nature (meaning he did not change from "good" to "evil"), but since he was created sin-ful, or missing the mark of the glory of God, he sinned. The Second Adam, Christ, proved this. Sin does not originate from holy. Sin does not originate from righteousness. Again, the Second Adam proved this.
If indeed God created Adam "missing the mark" of the glory of God (God cannot reduplicate Himself in Himself), which is what I believe, then the question becomes "How can a righteous God create and unrighteous being (Adam)? It would be inconsistent with the nature of God to do this. But He did it. He was able to create an unrighteous being (Adam) because God made atonement in Himself before He created heaven, earth, man, and the realm of TIME in which to create a man, and from this man, take out a people to Himself.
Revelation 13:8
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
As all three members of the Trinity of God was directly involved in the creation of heaven and earth, so, too, is the Trinity of God directly involved in the creation of the new man in Christ. And because of this group God ordained to eternal life whose names are in the book of life of the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, the long-suffering of God waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God before Him in TIME in order to birth His people that He may directly provide deliverance to them. God knows the end from the beginning because He has ordained the end.
There is only One God. Adam was not holy, nor in standing before a holy God, was Adam innocent, nor righteous. He was not God. There is only One God. Adam was created fallen short of the glory of God, because again, there is only One holy, righteous, and omnipotent God. It was the only way God could create Adam for God cannot reduplicate Himself in Himself. Nor does sin come from holy. The Second Adam, who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth, did no sin because He was holy, and righteous, and innocent. But the first Adam did sin because it was his nature to sin. Adam only did what his sin-ful nature dictated he do, that is, disobey God.
Isn't Paul correct when he said:
1 Timothy 1:9
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers...
There was a law in the Garden of Eden which is found here:
Genesis 2:17
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Adam sinned because he was created sin-ful, or as the word means, falling short of the glory of God. If the existence of the Law of God to do or not do a thing, and the existence of the Law reveals that we are sin-ful, the existence of a "Thou shalt not" is a restriction God placed on Adam to not eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The commands of the LORD are Law, and the Law of the LORD are commands. There is no distinction. The apostle Paul said:
Romans 7:7
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Paul said: "I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." The same reasoning applies to Adam: Adam had not known disobedience except the Law said, thou shalt not eat of it.
Sin comes from sinfulness. Holy comes from holiness. The Last Adam. Jesus Christ, proved this.
There is only One God.
And that is why I believe God created Adam (man) sin-ful.
There is only one God.
